SKY has been found to have breached Ofcom rules by not sending customers notifications they were approaching the end of their contract. Telecoms regulator Ofcom has investigated whether Sky had broken rules around telling its pay-TV customers they were coming to the end of their deal . It is feared that many customers are being stung by a so-called "loyalty penalty" and are overpaying on their bill .

In some ways it had the vibe of any block party — a D.J. making people move, kids riding bikes in the street, smoke billowing out of an oil-drum grill. But this wasn’t just another summer day in Brownsville. Mr. Williams and a group of community activists had persuaded seven of the politicians hoping to be New York’s next mayor to show up, granting them a forum to explain why they deserved the support of a Black community that was used to being ignored. One by one, the candidates took turns sitting at a folding table in the middle of the block and fielded tough questions from a panel of young people who lived there.
